Abstract
Certain embodiments may be set to reside in an optical display. The optical display includes a plurality of strands arranged in spaced apart relationship. Each strand has a plurality of waveguides, and each waveguide has an output at a different position along the length of the respective strand. Each waveguide has an input end. The optical display also includes a light driver for supplying light to the input end of each waveguide so light can propagate along the waveguide and exit at the outputs.
Claims23
An optical display comprising:
- a plurality of strands arranged in spaced apart relationship;
- each strand having a plurality of waveguides with each guide having an output at a different position along the length of the respective strand;
- each waveguide having an input end;
- and
- a light driver supplying light to the input end of each waveguide so light can propagate along the waveguide and exit at the outputs.

An optical display comprising:
- a plurality of spaced apart strands, each strand comprising;
- a support element for supporting a plurality of optical fibres;
- a plurality of diffuser elements on the support element, the diffusers being spaced apart along the length of the strand;
- and
- a plurality of optical fibres supported by the support element, each of the plurality of optical fibres having a terminating end located at a respective diffuser element of the strand,
- wherein when light is provided to the optical fibres and propagates along the optical fibres, the light exits the terminating end of the fibres at the respective diffuser elements to thereby create an optical display.
